The Devil Made Him Do It? The Arne Johnson Story, Part 3 — $4,500 vs. $81,000

Arne Johnson has never said the devil made him do it. Not in any interview, not in any documentary, not in any recorded statement over more than four decades. What he told police the night Alan Bono died: “I need help because I’ve got a drinking problem.” His attorney Martin Minnella: “Arne never said ‘I was possessed by the devil.’ The priests said that. The Warrens said that.” Judge Callahan barred the possession defense before the trial began. The jury convicted Johnson of first-degree manslaughter. The Glatzels received $4,500. The Warrens received more than $81,000. Carl Jr. found a note after their mother died — she’d been putting Sominex into the family’s food. The Conjuring franchise has grossed over $2 billion. Alan Bono is a footnote in every version of this story.
